A Dark Corner of My Soul by Michel Weatherall****Trigger Warning - This collection of poems tackles the themes of mental illness and rape ******Title: A Dark Corner of My Soul
Author: Michel Weatherall
Genre: Poetry
Review : An amazing collection of literary prose which Weatherall has kept locked in a desk drawer for two decades is now a short collection of dark and deeply disturbing poems.
The reader is transported into the mind of someone suffering and you can see the images of his words as if they were your own.
As a sufferer myself, I was amazed at just how much he was able to write and convey how mental illness makes a sufferer feel. Those images which are so difficult to explain that haunt the head flow off the page , raw and exposed for all to see.
I couldn't possibly choose a favourite in the collection as they were all so powerful and beautifully written. Michel has a true talent and after reading I felt he was extremely brave to share such wonderful, if dark work.
The only thing that let's this book down is the cover colour, it has an amazing image of a skull but the green makes it unappealing to look at.
Rating: 5 stars
